Welcome + Faye-Ellen Silverman
Hello, Idilla, and welcome to Wikipedia. Here are some pages that new editors often find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
Be sure to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username and the date. Also be sure to provide an edit summary for your edits. This should always be done, but especially when making any significant changes to an article. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
Unfortunately, I had to reduce Faye-Ellen Silverman to a stub to remove the copyright violations. The entire article was pasted in from http://fayeellensilverman.com///index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=31 I have explained in greater detail on Talk:Faye-Ellen Silverman why it had to be removed, and pointed to some guidelines if you wish to expand the article in future.
Also, if you have a close connection to the person or organisations you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. Please read conflict of interest for guidance when editing under these circumstances. Best wishes, Voceditenore ( talk) 22:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Silverman shot.jpg, which you've attributed to Russell Dian. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{ permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Minorax«¦ talk¦» 06:17, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
